Oliver is an 8-month-old Labrador in Rochester, NY, who needs $1,800 for foreign body removal surgery.

We have had Mr. Oliver for his 8 months of his young vibrant life he makes our 3 kids so happy we need this surgery as he is a very big part of our family we had him neutered and take him to regular vet appointments but with the rise in costs and the cost of surgery it is a lot on our family and Oliver deserves to live.

My kids look so forward to coming home to see Mr. Oliver with tail wagging. Their whole day consists of him as he wants to be where they are watching movies walking around the yard and playing football with my son, lounging with my teen or playing fetch with my 11yr old, going to watch their baseball games. He is everything to this family.

His butt wiggling with excitement is so funny. The kids and wife and I laugh so hard at his making sure we walk the house together to make sure he didn't miss any crumbs we may have dropped to the belly rubs and the annual chase me I got something I'm not supposed to have to the fetch no matter what the situation.

He currently needs surgery to take out a cloth object that is preventing him from eating or drinking he is at the Irondequoit Animal hospital Rochester, NY they at first suggested emergency surgery 5,000 to 7,000 yikes to now saying 2000 which is why I'm hoping we can raise the money to help are wonderful boy.

My wife is currently the only one working as I have had a medical condition that has kept me out of work for the last month and I get paid cash so no work, no money. It's not something we were prepared for.
